USN-1483-1 fixed a vulnerability in NetworkManager by disabling the
creation of WPA-secured AdHoc wireless connections. This update
provides the corresponding change for network-manager-applet.

It was discovered that certain wireless drivers incorrectly handled
the creation of WPA-secured AdHoc connections. This could result in
AdHoc wireless connections being created without any security at all.
This update removes WPA as a security choice for AdHoc connections in
NetworkManager.
